In Selected Poems, Keith Taylor, acclaimed poet of the Upper Midwest and the author of eighteen celebrated collections, delivers a stunning medley of his most lasting work: poems that remain vivid in the imagination, that have achieved a life beyond their first appearance on the page.With the signature charm and insight that have made him a beloved poet for nearly fifty years, Taylor dives into the wilderness of his life, in canoe and on foot. Across the decades, he reflects on what it means to be a painter, a writer, an observer of life’s ordinary beauties; on encountering a bear in the Michigan woods; on the evolution of hitchhiking and the lives of saints; on his transfixion with Doreen dancing at his grade school’s show-and-tell; and on the deep and abiding love of a long marriage.A triumphant celebration of growing up and the life that comes after, this is a collection not to be missed by fans of American poetry and all who wander in the wilderness.

"Publication of Keith Taylor’s All the Time You Wantis an important event. Everyone who has been listening for years to thisessential poetic voice has reason to rejoice anew. Taylor’s arguments in favorof the ordinary communal life—earning a living, being part of a family,engaging in all the things we do to sustain ourselves—introduce us to a deepand quiet understanding of how life works, reminding us that “We’re too busy tobe saints.” And in his poems about the natural world, he has created a spaceone enters gladly, with joy in one’s heart. Reading this book is like opening adoor outward into a realm whose refreshment we find we are badly in need of,even if we have forgotten how much we really do need it." —RichardTillinghast, author of Blue If Only I Could Tell You and Journeysinto the Mind of the World: A Book of Places.Past Praise for Keith Taylor“Taylor delights readers with tight flashes of insight…The appeal here is Taylor’s ability to cast a line and reel the reader in with just a few sentences, then do it again and again.” – Starred review in Publishers Weekly
